DEAR ALL Fellow,

Need helps,

If i got the a file : abc.txt , and i also need to zip it

[gbm5:/] #ll abc*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 27 Oct 8 11:57 abc.txt

[gbm5:/] #gzip abc.txt
[gbm5:/] #ll abc*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Oct 8 11:57 abc.txt.gz
[gbm5:/] #

How could I keep both files :
abc.txt and abc.txt.gz

like this:
[gbm5:/] #ll abc*
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 27 Oct 8 11:57 abc.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 50 Oct 8 11:57 abc.txt.gz
[gbm5:/] #

Does gzip optional make it?
Thanks for your tips,

Violin.

In UNIX the most common thing to do is to gzip a tarball. You first usr tar to make an archive and then gzip the tar file.

tar cvf /tmp/myfiles.tar abc.txt def.txt ghi.dat
gzip /tmp/myfiles.tar

To reverse the process you:
gunzip myfiles.tar.gz
tar xvf myfiles.tar

You can use "jar" that comes with HP Java.

# /opt/java1.4/bin/jar -cvf fork.zip fork.c
added manifest
adding: fork.c(in = 333) (out= 208)(deflated 37%)
# ls fork.c fork.zip
fork.c fork.zip

The Gnu tar has an -z option for compressing

tar -cvfz abc.txt

It will give you both the original file plus the compressed file.
